OCO Giving Thanks Food and Beverage Pairing Set for Nov. 6

FULTON – Oswego County Opportunities will hold its Giving Thanks Food and Beverage Pairing from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, 2026, at the Lake Ontario Event and Conference Center, 26 E. First St. in Oswego, according to a news release from the organization.

The event will bring together restaurants, eateries and food trucks, with dishes paired with beverages. It will raise funds for OCO’s “60 Years of Action. A Lifetime of Impact.” initiative, which celebrates six decades of service to individuals and families throughout Oswego County.

Major sponsors are G & C Foods, TJ Sheehan Distributing, Constellation, National Grid and Valiant Retire.

“This is OCO’s 10th year holding Giving Thanks,” said OCO Executive Director Kevin Dean. “This event brings our community together to celebrate OCO and enjoy signature dishes from some of Oswego County’s finest restaurants, caterers, and food trucks, each dish paired with a carefully selected beverage that complements the dish. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors, attendees, and volunteers, Giving Thanks continues to support OCO’s mission of inspiring partnerships and providing services that empower people, support communities, and change lives. Guests can also enjoy an auction featuring community-donated items and experiences, a wine pull, drawing, and live entertainment from one of Central New York’s most celebrated performers, Just Joe. Giving Thanks is more than a great evening of food, beverages, and entertainment. It is an opportunity for our community to come together in support of a meaningful cause.”
